Compare features of FSFlyingSchool 2011 and FSFlyingSchool 2010
| Feature |
FSFlyingSchool 2010 |
FSFlyingSchool 2011 |
| Works with both FS2004 and FSX |  | |
| Team of 4 talking Flight Instructors | | |
| Scoring system rates all phases of flight: taxi, take off, cruise, approach, landing & more | | |
| Fly anywhere in the world with an instructor | | |
| It's never been easier to use! You can now land anywhere you like and your instructors will know which runway you have chosen. You do not need to file a flight plan and you do not need to create the runway files that FSFlyingSchool used previously. Just get lined up with a runway ahead of you when you descend in landing mode. The instructor will look ahead, figure which runway you are heading for and announce where you are going to land. Easy! |  | |
| No need to file a flight plan! Fly any route you wish with full evaluation of your performance. | | |
| Instructor knows which runway you are landing at. Even without a flight plan or ILS, and will give advice on how to land. | | |
| Instructor knows which runway you are taking off from. Instructor will comment and give advice on the runway you have selected. | | |
| No need to land on a fixed point on the runway. Any reasonable landing on a runway will get a reasonable score. | | |
| Auto-read FSX's current flight plan. Option so that FSFS2011 will always read FSX's current flight plan when you press the connect button in FSFS2011. This is a great time saver! | | |
| Spoken Teaching Tips. Option so that FSFS2011 will speak a series of helpful tips when you fly with FSFS2011. Tips are always in the same voice and are clearly different from a normal 'instructor' voice. These tips are like training wheels on a bicycle and are telling you how to use FSFS2011 and Flight Simulator itself. Once you have got the basics of these operations down, you may wish to turn these basic tips off. | | |
| Friendlier scoring system. Rewards all flights which were basically safe - higher scores require plenty of skill. If you can walk away from your landing - you will get a score. If you crash - you will not! | | |
| Numerical data added to log book. Shows details of flight performance, such as landing speed, distance from threshold, approach accuracy and more. | | |
| Runway length and threshold part of landing evaluation. Landings have never been easier - just land beyond the threshold (even when displaced), on the runway, and not too long, and you'll be looking at great scores. | | |
| Airfield cities and facility names added to log book. No longer just the ICAO code - now you get to see your full airfield names. | | |
